I've previously had issues with timezones, and yours are all over the shop.

No worries. Thanks again for the heads up.

Dell Optiplex. I have a 9010 and 7020. Power consumption is higher but performance to price ratio is way better than a pi. Sata ports and options to upgrade are pretty desirable too - unless it's the cpu. I'm on 3rd and 4th gen which is fine for what i'm doing, but that's about as high as they go on that chipset/motherboard.

Cheers. I'll have a look.

I keep forgetting about dht. I've never fully explored it.

Thanks.

Invite only but i'll keep an eye for openings. Unless you're willing?

Don't worry if not and thanks for the suggestion.

I have a domain, but if I don't have to use it, all the better. So with a reverse proxy, if i don't want it accessible on the web, i can literally pick anything? I could call it "watch.tv" if i wanted?

Laptop probably has some downsides but on the upside, it's low power and you have a built in UPS.

If the OS begins to crash, that will need diagnosis, but other than that, no more than any other linux maintenance...

....hmm.

Thanks. It's the reverse proxy part i'm scared of. For some reason theyve just never clicked with me.

Thanks. I got some reading/watching to do.

Thanks. It was the ports that were more of an issue. It's one server with several containers and id like a local "url" for all of them, but looks like reverse proxies aster my only out, which is a shame because i'm dumb.

Yeah, I got a pihole and the domains are easy enough. Just need to get comfortable with reverse proxies it looks like.

Thanks for the advive.

Have a pihole, but DNS doesn't cover ports so it'll take a bit more attention and learning on my end. Down the reverse proxies rabbit hole I go. Thanks for the advice.

Gotcha. I have nginx proxy manager on the go and I've heard caddy is simple, so i'll see how I get on. Thanks for the advice.

Cheers. I appear to have something of a mental block with revese proxies. I've used them successfully, but couldn't definitively say I understood them enough to get on with things. I've always had some niche condition on my end that was slightly different to the guide or video I was watching which snafued the process.

I have nginx proxy manager currently up and running and set up wildcards, but no dice on actually mapping anything properly, and there are multiple layers where things can be misconfigured, so diagnosis takes time, which is hard to come by at the moment.

What this post has taught me, is that I need to just spend a weekend playing with reverse proxies enough til they're sunk in. Thanks again for the advice.

Site's a real fixer upper

Cool. Kind of like Dawn of the Dead.

Search for FMHY. There's a site for guidance, and it's also a subreddit, but i'm not sure of its status at the moment with reddit going dark.

Should provide some help.

Quite a rabbit hole but you can look at bazarr which can be integrated with radarr (movies), sonarr (tv).

But Kodi also has a facility to download subs on the fly, as long as you set the sources.

You have to serve the media. It's not going on the firestick directly but you'll either need a server backhand like jellyfin, or just set up an smb fileshare on your computer with all the media and point kodi at it.
